Egyptian Sayyadiah - Fish With Rice image

I have not as yet tried this. I'm posting it for Zaar World Tour III. I'm not counting the time for cleaning the fish as most of us buy them pre-cleaned.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the fish always comes out perfectly cooked. I usually serve it with a side of tahini sauce.

The fish was a bit overcooked, but the rice was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the fish for less time.
